This is D803-26 with BNSF engine #5602 & CSX engines #3167 + #3440 & 130 loaded coal cars & rear dpu BNSF #9356. This was N801-26 that had tied down in Wells yesterday. The cab waits at Saugatuck until the loaded coal trains make it over the hill there - just in case there's an issue.

This train burned 2-3 hours of my time yesterday only to get tied down. Glad it was still there! Chasing it through Holland, up to West Olive. I heard the coal pile has been getting used up. The plant is running nearly full capt. I will look around snd see any evidence of that.

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.

I'm hearing him calling himself as D803-26 (not D803-27 as I originally had thought).

His entire train had cleared the Holland Depot mp CG25.3 @ 08:23
